who vote in primaries are a public record. Primary voters can be found in voting records with name, phone number and address. These records are available because Texas has open primaries and it's necessary to identify who votes in which party primary to prevent voting in both. Such records aren't kept for general elections.

I may be wrong but I don't see how General Election voters can be identified.
